VACATIONING IN OAXACA, MEXICO, WITH ALL THE LOVED ONES DOG, CAT OR OTHER PET

As the proprietor of a bed & breakfast in Oaxaca, Mexico, I frequently field inquiries from travelers with plans to visit the city who are intent upon bringing the household dog or cat along for the vacation.

But these are for the most part not everyone’s cup of tea–not a lot of people want an animal companion that isn’t safe to let out of its cage, as you can well imagine. It’s a frequent misconception, however, that this is all that it means for a pet to be ‘exotic’.
